I am not a doctor, this is conversation only, but I will tell you my experience.
I am fair skinned and live in Hawaii. It used to be every time i visited the dermatologist she would burn maybe 8 or 10 little pre cancers off.
i started taking an antioxident called Astaxanthin every morning. Within a year the precancerous spots dropped down to 0-2 per visit. I can't say for sure that Astaxanthin was the cause, but that is what happened.
Astaxanthin is made from algae (I think)- It is the red in Salmon. I also found that my joints felt better and I stopped taking Glucosomine/Condrotin.
On sunscreen, in my research there is nothing truly natural that works. You have to compromise a little for effectiveness. Look for titanium and zinc physical blocks rather then chemical. You will have a white coating, but IMHO that is better then using chemicals. Eviromental working group keeps track of toxicity brands. Check here before you buy anything.

I surf, kayak and so on, so waterproof is important to me. I use a brand that is not listed called "Smart Girls Who Surf" (yeah I am a guy, go ahead and laugh). For non-water I use Badger 30 and Vanicream 60.
Lastly, but you know this - sleeves and a hat! Cyclists have literal SPF sleeves to pull up under short sleeved shirts that are nice for walks in the sun and such.
Hope that helps,
Namaste,
Tom
